As winter gives over to spring, certain codes go haywire in my system and I get an urge to throw things away – to sort through piles of debris and move them out of the house. It is short lived, usually dying right around the time I find the very first thing that I set aside because I will be able to use it somewhere, or as in this case, when I stumble upon something I forgot I had. I was emptying a notebook. Not an especially space saving activity, perhaps, but one that needs to be done as time changes and the notebook is still much more viable than the contents. I found this drawing that I did in oh, maybe 2006 – probably an assignment for school that was either of things that please me, or of an interior. Regardless of the assignment, it is a close documentation of the things that make me balanced and happy – books, guitar, beasts, and a comfortable corner with a view. A good end of winter drawing as the spring begins to draw me out of the house, and certainly away from those crazy housecleaning notions…

The solace of small places

I forgot! I forgot. Thank goodness I can still edit – a few days ago, Robin sent me this… enough to get me outside, surely!
